I just call the folks at Tylers. They've always been spot on about the
water conditions off Chesapeake Beach.

Tylers has no clear view of the Bay. Do they dispatch someone over to
the little memorial park to peer over the bushes?

They can walk up to the flag and get a great view. Or, they can just look
at the flag. I've never known them to be wrong. Of course they may get
their info from folks who've actually been on the water that day and just
pass it on. Try 'em, you just might like 'em.


I shop sometimes at Tylers. I used to buy minnows there before I got my
minnow traps set up. Also, if you need a fishing rod repaired, Tylers
has someone who picks them up and returns them fixed in under two weeks.
Or at least they did that for me.

The weather station Mike at BP wants to put up will show a bit more than
a flag waving.

Oh, I'm sure. But the folks at Tylers can tell if there are 3 footers in
the bay. That's enough for me to know it's not going to be comfortable.
